John Woo and Universal Pictures are teaming on a new version of his 1989 Hong King crime classic The Killer. It is intended as a star vehicle for Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o. She is negotiating to play the assassin, a role originated by Chow Yun-fat. The studio has the film on a fast track, with Woo directing.
Sounds pretty awesome to me -Â The Killer is an all time action great.
Also, in what can’t be a coincidence, Netflix released the trailer to Manhunt yesterday, John Woo’s big return to action. It hits Netflix this Friday. Looks crazy, def worth a spin.
